EXPLORE | Roxborough State Park | American Explorer

Today we venture to Roxborough State Park just south of Denver. Known for it's dramatic red sandstone features this is a gorgeous spot that makes for an easy and quick outing from the Denver area.
With close to 4000-acres, Roxborough State Park is filled with dramatic red-rock formations, distinct plant communities and a variety of wildlife ranging from black bears to mule deer. Enjoy hiking, wildlife viewing, trail running, photography, bird watching or one of our many programs and events. Whether you are new to the outdoors or an experienced outdoor enthusiast, Roxborough State Park has an opportunity for you.
NOTE: There are no dogs or pets allowed within the park, I made that mistake the first time I tried to venture here. A hefty fine awaits those who break that rule.

Trails in Roxborough include a meandering route to the the top of Carpenter Peak. A knob of rock 1000' above the parking area provides a wonderful view of the foothills, Front Range, Denver, the Great Plains, and the ruddy rock formations of Roxborough. If you're lucky, butterflies sometimes seem to be swept to the tip of the peak.
